As of early this morning, Street View has made its debut outside of United States borders and into the French Republic! Although coverage in minor, the cities were included as a celebration of the upcoming Tour de France. The cities added are:

Brest

Auray

Saint-Malo

Cholet

Aigurande

Brioude

Figeac

Toulouse

Pau

Lannemezan

Lavelanet

Narbonne

Nîmes

Cuneo (Italy)

Embrun

Bourg d'Oisans

Roanne

Cérilly

Étampes

Paris

Now, these are approximates. There are a total of 21 camera icons, one for each stop of the Tour de France. But some of these icons are very close together, so they can be considered one location.

This came out of nowhere, and Google has surprised us once more! Thank you, Google Street View!
